I notice on IG that 64% are short on Tesla.

As Tesla has been rising $100 over the last 15 trading days this to me does not make much sense.

Would not the shorts been stopped out long ago in this rise?

I have done very well out of this rise!!!!!

 

Thanks in advance

Sounds like CFDs would actually be better for retail clients, since most of them lose money they would benefit from the tax offset. 

CFDs are made to sound like a 'real' investment vehicle for professionals, while 'spread betting' for the little fish and the punters.  But in reality it's all the same.

Apropos of stocks - if you're bullish, go for call options.  None of this fannying about with getting stopped out when 'news' is released of new share issues or new debt being issued by the company, which insiders knew of long before you and manipulated to their own advantage, and is manifested is crazy gapping spikes up and down before settling down again.

An older article on this: 

Tesla share price zooms past US$420. More gains coming?

Tesla is now up at around $430.. will it reach the $500 mark??

The Favourable conditions section is the part I found most useful.

@CharlotteIG,

The problem with trading Tesla is that even though the fundamentals of the company may be getting stronger if there is a sell off in US equities as institutional investors and institutional funds take profits then Tesla will be caught in the sell off. 

This is why I think investing in Tesla for the long term is one thing but trading it on technicals is more difficult as even though one may be tempted to go long there could be a sell off or correction in US equities (indices) soon which could cause a large drop. I would be tempted to wait for the next big drop on Tesla before going long as I think the longer term trend manifestation will continue upwards with Tesla and there may be a better entry point ahead. Of course it could easily continue going up in which case the current entry point would have been attractive. These are the tricky decisions traders have to make and a lot will depend on their trading style and trading strategy. 

For me I am content with investing in Tesla rather than trying to trade it. 

Do you have a low price in mind or just waiting for the bearish movement then when it turns bullish, buy back in?

Jeremy Naylor has also done a short video on TA for Tesla. Let me know what you think. 

It's okay, he didn't really talk about waiting for a dip and then buying back in.  You don't want to be basing your decisions purely off the daily chart either.  Start with weekly and home in.

I think SB on stocks is just plain dumb, if you think the value will increase buy a call option and you won't get stopped out by the 'crazy spikes' that suspiciously appear now and then, almost as if it is some sort of mechanism to shake out stale longs and force people to buy back in (hence generating more revenue for SB provider in the form of another juicy spread).

The Tesla chart is looking good with a super candle yesterday. Note the Forward (Futures) options to trade if you are looking to hold for the longer tern and avoid paying any over night charges, may have missed the boat this time round though, may want to wait for the next dip.

Quick read on what you need to know. In the news and analysis section of the platform but thought it would be good to post it here too: 

By Monte Safieddine

Stock market value tops that of GM and Ford combined

1578557237392.jpg

Tesla Overview

It’s been a volatile session (to say the least) for Tesla’s stock price, surging to fresh record high after fresh record high, and in the process taking its market capitalization to higher than that of car giants GM and Ford combined.

Although there are plenty of catalysts including a third-quarter profit that surprised analysts, its Chinese factory online and delivering to the world’s largest car market, and global deliveries that beat expectations, the justification of current price levels are startling analysts as the company struggles to turn a consistent profit, and where its deliveries dwarf that of the competition by a significant margin.

Tesla delivered over 367,000 vehicles for 2019 – about a third of that in the last quarter as deliveries picked up – but stands in significant contrast with GM and Ford’s deliveries at more than 2m each.

This is occurring at a time when car companies are struggling globally and car sales are dropping, and where established automakers attempt to shift to electric vehicles to diversify their lineup ahead of changing regulations.

And then there’s the tech factor, as it’s no surprise that tech stocks have been outperforming as of late and with the Nasdaq at fresh record highs buoyed by Tesla which amongst the tech index’s components was at the top of the performance chart yesterday. Viewing Tesla as a tech company instead of a car company has certainly aided the hype, even as the company struggles to consistently deliver when it comes to profit and cash flow, and where the orders consist largely of low profit margin Model 3’s instead of its Model S and X where the profit margins are significantly higher.

Tesla Technical analysis, overview, strategies, and levels

From a technical standpoint, all its main technical indicators are flashing green, with its price above all its main moving averages, a positive DMI (Directional Movement Index), and a trending ADX (Average Directional Index). And the same holds true when shifting to a longer-term weekly overview.

However, with the gains this sizeable and bullish movements occurring intraday as well, that translates into pivot points at greater risk of breaking than holding.

A volatile technical overview then that supersedes a bull trend, and in turn means breakout strategies on its main pivot points for limited profit-taking may be more conformist to its current technical overview than contrarian reversals that may be at risk of getting more easily stopped out, especially if the short squeeze continues.

IG client sentiment and Nasdaq short interest for Tesla

In terms of sentiment, retail traders are holding a bias opposite the recent bullish moves at a majority short 65% as per IG’s client sentiment.

And if other traders have been basing their positioning on analysts’ opinions, they are likely holding a bias closer to the middle given the contrasting opinions of where the stock price ought to go with nearly a third holding a buy view, a third holding a sell view, and a third on hold.

As for Nasdaq.com’s latest short interest figures, as of mid-December they have reduced it to levels unseen since February of last year, as during the bullish surge they upped their short positions from about 26m at the start of last year to a peak of 41m by the end of July before reducing it back down again as the pain of price increases forces shorts to unwind.

Many of the complaints report sudden acceleration incidents when attempting to park vehicles in a garage or at a curb. Others claimed the sudden acceleration happened while in traffic or when using driver assistance systems and led to crashes.

 

In one complaint, a driver said a 2015 Tesla Model S 85D in California was closed and locked when he claimed “a few moments later the vehicle started accelerating forward towards the street and crashed into a parked car.”

A Tesla driver in Avondale, Pennsylvania, was pulling into a parking spot at an elementary school when the vehicle accelerated on its own, the complaint said adding: “It went over a curb and into a chain link fence.”

The very definition if a melt up.  Got a little more to go though if the 1H chart is anything to go by.  Need to see a NMD of a higher high.  Not something worth trading for me but interesting as it related to the over exuberance always seen at the end of a cycle.  When this one collapses that will be a signal...

    • Silver XAGUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function -Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Double Zigzag for wave B (circled) Position - Wave (Y) of B Direction - Wave 1 of (1) of C (circled) Details - It appears wave B (circled) has been completed and wave C (circled) is now emerging upside. We are now counting wave 1 of (1) or wave (1). Silver continues to recover from the pullback that began in late May 2024. This recovery is expected to lead to another series of rallies, continuing the year-long bullish impulse cycle. Both long-term and medium-term Elliott Wave forecasts support further rallies for this precious metal.   Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, we identified that the impulse wave sequence starting in January 2024 completed in May 2024, followed by a corrective pullback. This bearish corrective structure, which lasted for five weeks, appears to have concluded with a double zigzag pattern. However, the correction is relatively shallow, suggesting the possibility of another leg lower. Yet, if the impulse reaction from late June continues to rise and does not turn corrective, it would indicate that the market has accepted the shallow nature of the pullback. Overall, it is likely that Silver will continue to climb, potentially reaching new highs in 2024.     H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the impulse response is in the process of completing the first sub-wave, or wave 1. Currently, wave iv (circled) might experience one more leg lower before reversing upwards to complete wave v (circled), thereby finishing wave 1. Following this, a larger pullback for wave 2 is expected. Conversely, if the current dip extends below $30, we may consider the high on July 5, 2024, as the end of wave 1 and the current dip as wave 2. In either scenario, provided that Silver's price does not approach $28.5, the price action supports further rallies from the dip, continuing the year-long bullish sequence.   Conclusion Both the daily and H4 charts indicate a continued bullish trend for Silver, with several opportunities for traders to position themselves for further gains. By closely monitoring the development of wave 1 on the H4 chart and the overall impulse sequence on the daily chart, traders can identify strategic entry points to maximize their returns amidst this upward movement. The shallow nature of the recent correction suggests that Silver's bullish momentum remains intact, and further rallies are likely as the metal continues its long-term ascent.
